kermit servers

[Mathias Koerber]

Greetings

I'm having a question about Kermit, on PC as well as on UNIX. I want to
make my unix system run a kermit server to accept file-transfers initiated
by the PC on dial-up lines, but I also want the unix-system to be able to
initiate a transfer. For this, I need either to shut down the server  on the
unix side and start one on the PC like in the following chart:

	UNIX								PC
	======================================
	kermit server start
										kermit dial..
												kermit send file-upload
												finish
	(server dies)
										kermit server start
	kermit send file-download
	finish
										(server dies)
	kermit server start

and so on.

Or (better), I'd like two kermit servers, which also accept commands from the
outside. They listen on the line for incoming requests, but also monitor a
command-interface for locally initiated requests. On unix, this could
be done using a signal, and then looking at a file, but on MessyDos?

Has anybody done something like this already and can give me some info/help?

Thx alot

Mathias
